Productivity - WETHEPEOPLE 2018 Completes

This year's offering from the German giants.

Remember when you got a complete bike for Christmas and you thought it was the greatest thing in the world, then you went to the park and saw a PRO rider and you soon realised that what you had was nothing short of a cheap and nasty supermarket bike. Well those days are far behind us, WETHEPEOPLE are one of a select group of brands who have been leading the way in giving that stereotype of crappy complete bikes a real good kick in the rear end.

Boasting one of the most dynamic and characteristic assemblages of complete bikes in BMX, WETHEPEOPLE is back with its 2018 complete bike series. WTP cover everything and are known all over the globe for not just making bikes, but the way they make them. Carefully designed 12” and 16” bikes including entry-level models that feature 25-9 gearing and plastic pedals from leading component brand Éclat. Quality is the name of the game with WETHEPEOPLE, but you’d expect that from the Germans.

Prime 12”

Kicking off the line, and new for 2018, the Prime is one of the raddest balance bikes on the market. Packed full of custom features like a super short reach CNC machined stem and knurled footpegs, this is the perfect first taste of BMX for the younger generation of shredders. MORE INFO.

Seed 16”

A carefully designed and well spec’d 16” bike, designed to make those first years on a bike as fun as they can possibly be.

For 2018, Wethepeople upgraded the Seed with new Salt (Tracer) tires and an integrated headset and tapered fork. Arguably one of the best looking bikes in the line is also one of the smallest. The little guys and girls have never had it so good. MORE INFO.

Nova

Not in any way similar to the tinny Vauxhall hatchback of the 90s, the Nova is Wethepeople’s entry level machine which packs a hell of a punch. For 2018 the Nova gets upgraded with 2.35” Salt (Tracer) tires, the (PRO) front load stem and two incredible colour options.
